This is a really good mailing list, probably the best "single artist" mailing list I've ever been on (single artist mailing lists are often a bit like single issue political parties - you agree with the cause, but the meetings tend to be a bit dull), literary or otherwise. Most of the major posters have come up with some pretty damned interesting ideas, and it doesn't seem quite right to dismiss anyone's hypothesis out of hand. So like, yeah. My job is pretty stressful these days (imagine working for a guy not unlike Typhon but with a much smaller budget and only one head) and URTH has become something of a safe haven for me. D ---
